DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Leavitt's February 24 remark, made more than 13 months after Trump's January 20, 2025 inauguration, prompted widespread online pushback over the timeline, with critics calling it a gaffe and tying ongoing high prices to Trump's tariffs.

The clip highlighted partisan divides on affordability, a top voter issue, as inflation sits at 2.4% but grocery, housing, and energy costs stay elevated amid policy shifts like tariffs averaging 13% by late 2025.
